Vertical Joints: Avoid vertical joints exceeding the height of the largest stone. Horizontal Joints: Should not exceed 4’ – 6’ in continuous length.

String Lines: Installer should use string lines/coursing poles to ensure a straight and level pattern. Installation Info: Latitude Series stone is a stone veneer that requires the use of masonry ties during installation, refer to local building codes for quantity of ties required.
